My book, Enemy in the Ranks, has an official website now. And guess what I created it myself. I first created the website on a free hosting website called webs.com and later realized that it was not being indexed by Google. Not only that it wouldn't allow me to put Google adsense also. So after a bit of research, I homed in to Google sites.

So why should one visit my book website? For starters, it is the first place you can find an excerpt from my book Enemy in the Ranks. I have put some details regarding the book also on the website.
